Putting Glass Walls on New York's Slaughterhouses So We Can
See Behind Closed Doors

Citation: At approximately 1310 hrs I observed the
following non-compliance.[newline]In the processing room I observed
the establishment processing several goats. I asked if these were
the goats from that were slaughtered this morning. He informed me
that there was one goat that was slaughtered this morning. I then
took the temperature on 2 separate pieces of meat. The first piece
was 36 degrees Fahrenheit. The second piece was 55 degrees
Fahrenheit. According to the establishments HACCP plan [redacted].
By the time all of this had occurred, the establishment employees
were already in the process of taking trays of the partially
processed goats into the freezer, no regulatory control action was
taken.

Regulation:

417.3(a)(2) The written HACCP plan shall identify the corrective
action to be followed in response to a deviation from a critical
limit. The HACCP plan shall describe the corrective action to be
taken, and assign responsibility for taking corrective action, to
ensure: The CCP will be under control after the corrective action is
taken;
